DIRTY BLACKGUARDS.
MINNEAPoLIs, MIMI, Oct. 1.-THE
excitement occasioned by the appearance
in the Tribune on the morning after
President Cleveland's visit OF au editorial
containing a series Of structures on the
administration and manner of conduct
ing the present "Tour for Votes"
eliminated last night when A.
Blethop, proprietor Of the Tribune,
was burned in effigy bye crowd OF rougns:
The exceptions taken to the editorial
were based principally on the language
| with reference to Mrs. Cleveland, which
was as follows: "And 1t Is extremely
! hard to respect either member OF this
family now touring for votes. MIS-
Cleveland is q handsome, mature woman,
apparently several years older than sne is
! said 10 be; at least, she was Old enough
| to have exercised her own Tree cnolce III
marrying Grover Cleveland. 1t is incon-
ceivable that she should nave married
him except to obtain the position OF mis-
tress of the White House. Such mar
rage would never have been thought of
but for the astonishing political accidents
which the course of two or three years
brought Mr.. Cleveland out OF ooscurity,
which is his proper element, to the highest
position in the Nation. 1t is hafo
10 have respect for woman
| who would sell herself TO
So gross and repulsive man as Grover
| ClevelSrd, and one with private record
so malodorous for the Dauble of private
social ascendancy. She is now an ooJec'
OF curiosity and remark for gaping
crowds, and her photographs are solo
almost if not quite as freely as Mrs
| Langtry's. Such is her reward. LII she
can secure reelection tor Grover she
will have four years more OF the grstln'
cation which the highest social prom
| oeuce gives and the delight OF unhagglns
newspaper notoriety; after that she Will
simply have TO put up with being the WIG
OF So insignificant and obscure man az
an ex-PresIdent could p ssloly be. One
cannot help pang OF sympathy for her,
| but she has chosen herlot deliberately. -
Aoout 10 O'Clock last night about IUI
men and boys, mostly members OF an as
sociation of the lowest class OF the
local Democracy known as Inc
algonquin Club, gathered at salooi
srd alter drinking heavily repaired 10
secluded spot in side street ana nreC
the usual strawman which has been seer
| on such occasions from lime immemorlal
The mob was led by Mayor, a A. Ames
Ames was foremost in the Clevelt nd re
cep lion, and taxes no pains 10 corcea
his elf-proposed candidacy for the Vice
Presidency. After burning etiigy, th'
crowd proceeded TO the Tribune builoInt
and made further demonstrations, bu
was finally dispersed by the police. Mr
Blethon regards the affair as Joke OF
Mayor Ames and the crowd, as import
ant business kept him away from TIT
Tribune cffice on Tuesday night and h
knew nothing whatever Of the article IN
I'll it appeared Wednesday morning.
